Useful For
The differential diagnosis of patients presenting with mixed cerebellar and sensory ataxia and myeloneuropathy
Evaluating AP3B2 (adaptor protein 3 beta2)-IgG by cell-binding assay using serum specimens
Testing Algorithm
If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests AP3B2 (adaptor protein 3 beta2), then this test and AP3B2 antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

Method Description
Patient specimen is applied to a composite slide containing transfected and nontransfected HEK-293 cells. After incubation and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied to detect the presence of patient IgG binding.
